Abstract
Abstract An electrolytic capacitor has a capacitor section having a plurality of electrodes, at least one electrode of which is a valve metal having on its surface an insulating oxide layer, said section being impregnated with an electrolyte. The electrolyte comprises a solvent and an ionogen of a mixture of boric acid and a pentanediol, wherein the mol ratio of boric acid to said pentanediol is between about 0.2-2.
